Captured beautifully by KERSTIN AUER, this intimate wedding at CHÂTEAU DE COURTOMER unfolded like a love song. For David and Yoobin, both professional musicians, finding a setting that reflected their shared passion for music and beauty was essential. When they first toured the château, its soft grandeur and ivy-covered walls struck a chord—quite literally. As they wandered through the grand staircase and elegant salons, they found themselves humming Clair de Lune by Debussy, one of their favorite French composers. It was then they knew this was the place their wedding story would begin.
The Ceremony: Notes of Love and Family
Music was woven into every part of the day, beginning with the ceremony itself. Instead of hiring an officiant, the couple invited their parents to share readings and reflections, creating an atmosphere of deep connection and emotion. In one of the most heartfelt moments, David joined the harpist for a romantic duet performed for Yoobin—a gesture that left their guests in tears. Their vows echoed through the château gardens, blending with the soft harmonies of strings and birdsong.
A Private Concert to Remember
After the ceremony, guests gathered in the château’s grand salon, where the couple performed a private concert for family and friends. Playing side by side, accompanied by David’s father on piano, they turned their celebration into an intimate recital—an expression of their love through the language that first brought them together. It was an unforgettable moment that perfectly captured the spirit of their day: personal, passionate, and profoundly moving.
